| Third Form
The Third Year is divided into six Forms
with an average of 22-23 boys in each. In addition to the
core subjects, boys must make two choices from the following
subjects: Latin, Greek, German, Spanish, Drama and Classical
Civilisation (Greek is only available to boys taking Latin).
At least one of these choices must be a language (ancient
or modern). We reserve the right to recommend to some boys
that they only take two languages. It may be that if some
sets are too full, we cannot meet all choices. Membership
of forms is not determined by subject choice.
The school’s policy is to offer all
boys in the Third Form as wide a range of subjects and activities
as possible. One aim of this policy is to enable boys, towards
the end of the year, to make an informed choice of subjects
for study to GCSE in the Fourth and Fifth Forms. Another,
and equally important, aim is to allow them the broadest educational
experience before the demands of external examinations impose
the need for choice.
The curriculum, and the allocation of teaching
periods, in the Third Form are as follows:

Visits:
Superimposed upon this curriculum is a Visits
programme designed to take advantage of the School’s
central location. Boys are taken in small groups to visit
institutions or places of interest within easy reach of the
School: each boy will go on about eight such visits in the
course of the year. Among the organisations recently visited
are: City of London Police, Bank of England, London Transport
Museum, Cabinet War Rooms, National Gallery, Lloyd’s
of London, Fire Brigade, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Design
Museum, National Army Museum.
